lyrics

Ever since I do recall
We have suffered from the fall, falling
Troubles staining history
Cause is not a mystery, save me
Good things I remember
Beauty of September, day dreams
Climbing up into the trees
Swimming out into the sea, sunshine

In this so-called modern age
Many now are at the stage, homeless
Families living in their cars
Wealthy flying to the stars, pointless

National security
Tightens grip on you and me, daily
The good are always crucified
Those who profit deified, you’ll see

For years now, no longer sun showers
No longer the bees on the flowers
For years now, no longer sun showers
Wish I could roll back the hours

Corruption in the government
Don’t know where the money went, vanished
Voting’s not democracy
Leads to more austerity, tarnished

Poisoning below the ground
The devil does not make a sound, I find
Greed and power everywhere
People watching do not care, born blind

Vaccination what a scam
Dead against it that I am, proudly
Science run by companies
With billions going overseas, tax free

Abortion, no, it’s not a right
Killing babies out of sight, one less
It’s not for parents to decide
Another name infanticide, heartless

For years now, no longer sun showers
No longer the bees on the flowers
For years now, no longer sun showers
The bed we will lie in is ours

For years now, no longer sun showers
No longer the bees on the flowers
For years now, no longer sun showers
Wish I could roll back the hours

For years now, no longer sun showers
No longer the bees on the flowers
For years now, no longer sun showers
The bed we will die in is ours
